The closing included the full exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $172,500,000.

 

In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into the following agreements, forms of which were previously filed as exhibits to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-256816) related to the IPO, originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on June 4, 2021 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”):

The Private Units are identical to the Units sold in the IPO.
